He visits schools with his builds, to show kids how to code and create items using 3D printing, hoping to get them excited about science from a young age.

The record-breaking sculpture will be housed at Winchester Discovery Centre from July to September 2018, as part of the Creative Genius Exhibition.

James exhibits at a regular science fair in the venue, taking along robots and other 3D printed items to engage children in science activity throughout the year.

"I really enjoyed working towards the Guinness World Records title for this - I’m thinking about doing another one in the future. It took two months and a lot of printing time to achieve the record so I’m pleased to have finally got my hands on it!"

Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief, Craig Glenday said: "3D printing is a prime example of how Guinness World Records is continually evolving to embrace the latest, cutting-edge technologies.

"Indeed, that’s why we’ve published our new Science & Stuff book – to capture some of the superlatives emerging from the exciting worlds of consumer tech, gadgetry, drones, 3D printing and artificial intelligence.

"We’re all living in the middle of an exciting technological and digital revolution, and we’re delighted to welcome James – and the 3.62-m version of him – into the Guinness World Records family."
